F5 tornado wipes out Dallas - but only on the big screen at Studio Movie Grill on June 4 (we hope)

Well, this should be interesting.

The Studio Movie Grill (Royal at Central location) will premiere a "what if"-type film showing an F5 tornado making a direct hit on Dallas (they refer to it as "the metroplex," but we're probably talking Dallas) on Thursday night at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The screenings will be free (first come, first seated).

Perhaps we could explore alternatives for the destruction of Big D. That tornado thing is <em>SO</em> old hat.

Following the Thursday night premiere, the film can be streamed on the web from YouTube, and accessed from the Red Cross site at www.redcrossdallas.org/F5 (a currently inactive page).

Tim Marshall, a local storm chaser, supplied the actual F5 footage used to make the film; the Southwest Community of Motion Picture Artists did the production, using an all-volunteer cast and crew.

[But wait - haven't I already seen this? When it comes to a big storm destroying Big D, I suppose once is simply not enough.]

Here are complete details from the Red Cross (Dallas area chapter) website.
